This is a fantastic location, they serve great coffee... if they dont forget your order. Or if they sell you carrot cake, you might get choc mud slice... Found the banana bread was very old, and nuts were not good. A few oversights on food preparation, but coffee is great and a relaxing oasis.

Stopped in while cycling from Orange to Molong. What a gorgeous little spot! Staff at kiosk were so lovely despite being very busy, and were really polite and helpful. I had the delicious warm scones with cream and a coffee. Love the abundance of blankets, a heater at the kiosk and a small pit fire. The dam.had been opened while I visited so great to see that gushing as well.

Loved the location and food. I had the Moroccan Chicken Wrap and it was delicious. My coffee was really nice as well. The staff were friendly and helpful. So relaxing looking at the view while waiting for our food to arrive. I will definitely be back next time I'm in Orange. Thankyou Lakeside Kiosk and Cafe for a wonderful lunchtime experience.

A BIG SHOUTOUT to the owners and staff of Lakeside Cafe. Your dedication to serving the many locals & visitors to the Orange region is much appreciated. Open 7 days and always smiling, no matter how busy it is. This warm weather is attracting lots of people & dogs, and a large part of Lake Canobolas’ success is due to the fact that we can rely on the cafe being open, serving good food & coffee. Thank you Lakeside Cafe! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Had a wonderful breakfast here. Best breakfast we’ve had this year, so well put together and presented, and to add to that very pleasant decor and a stunning location.

The Lakeside Cafe is my fave Orange venue. The walk around the lake is beautiful and a takeaway coffee and meal are ideal afterwards. Sitting outdoors here is a treat on a sunny day. The views across the lake are so pretty. A friend and I recently had lunch here. Fine dining with fine views. A treat.
